TICKET HOLDER.

Application med February' 16, 1924. serial No. 693,346.

To all whom t may conce-rn: I i

Be it known that I, BERNARD I-IALANSKY,I a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing vat 'Ottawa, Ain the Province of Ontario and Dominion of Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ticket Holders, of which the following is a specification. f y l This invent-ion relates-to vimprovements in ticket 'holders and has for an object the ly adapted for holding car tickets'and from .which the' tickets may 'f beremoved singly and in a ready and convenient manner.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a container of this character which isV formed of separateyieldingly connected separable sectionsconnected in such manner as to permit of their ready separation for lling the container and to provide for a relative pivotal movement between the sections, so that'the delivery slot through which the tickets are removed, may be instantly closed or opened as desired.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of a ticket holder constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of the same.

Figure 3 is a' section at right angles to Figure 2. i

Figure 4 is a detail perspective view of one member of the holder.

Figure 5 is a similar view-of the other member.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the holder shown in use, a hand in the act of removing a ticket being shown by dotted lines.

Referring'to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the holder as shown includes a pair of box-like sections 10 and 11. Each of these sections include a bottom 12 and side and end fianges 13 and 14, the flanges of one section being receivable within the flanges of the other section so as to provide a closed ticket container.

One section, for example the section 10,-

carries a follower plate 15 which is adapted to bear upon a ticket 16 contained within the-section 11. This follower plate is se-I cured to the section 10 by means'of a-coiledv spring 16 so thatv a eld'in en a ement with the tickets is assui'ed. g g g The section 10 is provided with a dispensing slot 17 in one end thereof and with a finger opening 18 through which the finger may be inserted for the removal of a ticket, the widthof the slot 'being such as to insure the removal of the tickets one at a time.

assembled, the container l1 has its side walls '13 providedv with oppositely arranged openlngs 19 which removably receive projections 20 which extend inwardly from the walls of the section 10, the side walls of the section 11 being sufficiently resilient to permit the edges of the said walls to ride over these lugs. A yieldable rocking or pivotal connection is provided between the sections 10 and 11 and the relative depth of the lianges of the sections is such that by pressing the slotted end of the section 1l inward, this slot may be closed by the adjacent end wall of the outer section and by pressing upon the opposite end of the section 11 the sections will be relatively rocked and the delivery slot uncovered so that a ticket m'ay he conveniently removed by inserting a linger through the opening 18.

4In order to facilitate the separation of the sections each side edge of each section is provided with an extension 21. One of the sections is provided with a ring 22 for attachment to a watch or other chain, a portion of which is indicated at 23.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described the invention what is claimed is 1. A ticket holder comprising a pair of box-like sections including bottom, side and end walls, the side and end walls of one section being received within the side and end walls of the other section, one of said sections having a slot in one end and a finger opening in its bottom wall, a spring pressed follower plate for the other section, means for yieldingly holding the sections together to provide a closed ticket container and ex- In order to removably hold the sections tensions along each side edge of each section to facilitate se aration.

2. A ticket older comprising a pair of 'box-like sections including bottom, slde and end walls, the side and end walls of one section being received within the side and end walls of the other section, one of said sections having a slot in one end and a finger opening in its bottom wall, a spring pressed follower plate for the'othersection, means for yieldingly and pivotally connecting the sections to provide a closed ticket container Whose sections are capable of relative rocking movement and extensions along each side edge of each section to facilitate separation.

3. A- ticket holder comprising a pair of Abox-like sections including bottom, slde and end Walls, the side and end walls of one section bein received within the side and end walls o the other section, one of said sections bsgving a slot in one end and a finger ope ing in its bottom Wall, a spring pressed follower plate for the other section, the side walls'of one section also having openings locatedl substantially central of their lengths, rojections located substantially central ci) the side walls of the other section for entrance within the openings to provide a detachable pivotal connection between the sections and permit of the scc tions being rocked relatively to open or close the slot and extensions along the side edges of the sections to facilitate separation of said sections.
